The government of Kazakhstan seems to have been slow to adapt its national policy regarding development and exploitation of untapped hydrocarbon and other subsoil reserves. Both mining exploration and development prospective blocks and prospective oil and gas fields’ concessions have only been put on offer recently. The processes’ slow pace...

After oil and gas, non-ferrous metals represent the best hope for Central Asia’s post-Soviet republics Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, while for their neighbouring peers Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, next to hydraulic resources, they are a primary one. The main difference with oil and gas upstream industries is that in the case of...
